East Geelong Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in East Geelong? Now could not be a better time, with 2197 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $1,026,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $265,000 to $2,548,000. East Geelong is located very near to the coast so expect stunning views of the ocean and access to beaches. Demand is likely to be very strong in this location which will support higher prices

Prices are above market average and increase steadily under persistent demand. A more sustainable rate of price growth is anticipated in the short to medium term. Incomes in East Geelong are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. A mix of professions and above average income earners in East Geelong provides good demand. The lower than average housing turnover of these people also means fewer regular listings leading to periodic large price increases. High density population in East Geelong requires consistent turnover in housing ensuring constant demand. Housing styles may be a mix of low, medium, and high density, providing choice for well-financed buyers and value growth over time. Lower than average industry presence in East Geelong we believe will be less of a negative impact than it has in the past. Post-COVID and the growth in working from home has lessened the demand for local employment options. This may make East Geelong a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
